AQHA Racing Council's Mildred N. Vessels Special Achievement Award:   

Vel Evans, of Newmarket, ON was the recipient of the AQHA Racing Council's Mildred N. Vessels Special Achievement Award. Evans' company, Strategic Equine Marketing, Inc was instrumental in development of a business plan and a pilot project for the Ontario Racing Commission. The ORC made a $6,000,000 committment to expand American Quarter Horse racing in Ontario. In less than four months, Evans oversaw the planning and implementation of the inaugural five-day race meet at the Fort Erie track, which had been facing closure for economic reasons.
The 2010 inaugural Fort Erie meet was very successful, paying out more than $700,000 in purses, and will serve as the foundation for additional opportunities for the Quarter Horse racing industry. It established Fort Erie Race Track as a major factor in expanding Quarter Horse racing in eastern Canada and the entire north-eastern section of the United States. Fort Erie is committed to run Quarter Horses at least through 2012. The project is part of a plan by the Fort Erie Live Racing Consortium to rejuvenate live horse racing at the track and also test the expansion of the ORC's Quarter Horse Racing Industry Development program, which previously included racing solely at Ajax Downs.
